Let me explain what is happening .. I have a micro controller with web server on it ( Contiki OS ) this chip is connected to an Ethernet chip on the same board which is connected via SPI. This entire system is a controller or coordinator which reads data from other wireless sensors. In this case its temperature. Right now you just go to you web browser and type that assigned address a web page shows up and shows the temperature reading from that wireless sensor. All of this is working nicely.

What I want is that I need that data to come out directly to me, on my computer on the same LAN ( Via terminal window or maybe another web-server or anything . The idea is to bypass the existing web sever on the chip..

One thing that came to my mind was that that we already have an Ethernet node on that Board. So how about we could create a socket and get that data. About the data it gets processed and already gets stored in a variable before it shows on the web page.

Lets say we are talking about making socket so the server side can be my computer but the client is a circuit board. It has to initialize it self and form a socket or If you could push a command from my computer and invoke it something like GET and I see that variable on my window.


Tell me is that possible what I am talking about, I jus get so lost with so many thing .. give me some outline to go around it. For anything else you need to understand it better jus let me know
